This post#150;Second World War collection forms a bridge between the irrational world of Breton and the surrealist movement and the philosophical "absurd" of existentialism.nbsp;Ranging widely in theme,nbsp;these poems are concerned with the elements, moral fables, and theatre. Featuring unique reflections on writing and aesthetics, this compendium is Queneau's final poetic testament. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The ideas for the Quennets come from Queneau's fascination with Chinese philosophy and the I ching. The last two parts are made up of prose poems. They are at times philosphical, at other times filled with Queneau's quirky sense of humor, double entendres and word strechings. To be honest if anything I prefer the older collection of Queneau's poems translated by Ted Savory. In a sense the above may seem somewhat pretentious to a lot of people and Queneau to my mind was anything but. Anyway this collection seems more suited for the hard core Queneau and/or Oulipo fans out there--so though I enjoyed it I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. ( )
